    Hi all,

    I'm no stranger to brewing but this is a weird situation I really don't want to go out or spend extra money on brewing ingredients. I have the following:

    Bread yeast
    Sugar
    Blueberries
    Eating apples
    Grapes
    Bananas
    Oats
    Chocolate

    Limited quantities of all the above (approx 1kg each).

    Any suggestions on what I can brew? Sugar wine is the obvious choice, but I'm open to suggestions. I've brewed with bread yeast before and it's been fine.

    Thanks all!

    I reckon you could manage about 4.5 litres of Apple and Blueberry wine?

    Not without a licence in this country. People still believe the myths about it being dangerous, even if not drinking it, so we are probably stuck with these laws. I saw in other countries where its legal the sellers of equipment have guides on making the sanitizer. Shame we are not allowed here as its very easy and you could have a batch brewed & distilled in just a few days using fast acting turbo yeasts. With the prices some places are charging for sanitiser you could pay off all the equipment and ingredients in the first batch.
